Smith, submitted an able review of the past season's activities, but, in the face of the record net profit of $7,448.70, he referred to several disquletening aspects of the Association's financial position. Chief among these was that its prosperity was somewhat precariously dependent upon gate receipts, which, in their turn, were dependent upon the success of the Chinese teams. If Chinese teams were all eliminated the gates fell away almost to nothing.
